lyrics
You better snap out of it
You’ve been worn by your own disguise
It’s too late to hide it
I saw with my own eyes
(My own eyes) It’s not my business, but
I would still like to help you
Figure it out
Immobile, as I may be
I still collect static electricity
Sparks will fly again
I can only lead so many lives
You can only live so many times
I suggest you invest in your own advice
Can’t you see that
I’ve got tunnel vision?
I’m not easily distracted
Once I’ve made my decision
(This is my affliction) It’s not your problem, but
Maybe you could help me
Sort it out
Though I’m stationary
I generate potential energy
I will reignite
You can only lead so many lives
I can only live so many times
I don’t intend to spend mine paralyzed
Call it a mission - Call it a lie
I’ve made my decision - I’ve made up my mind
A head on collision - With wide open eyes
Complete tunnel vision
Call it foolish or - Call it denial
A final conviction - Without compromise
Count down to ignition - I won’t shut my eyes (again)
Tunnel vision
Another time - Swallow pride again
Take a dive, and begin my descent
I’m rescued by - The parachute again
But I’m still not sure where to land
I’ve seen past - That hollow mask before
(We can only lead so many lives) Do you find it easier to pretend?
(We can only live so many times) Falling fast - I survived the crash before
(Do you really think it’s out line?) Inertia knows I’ll catch up in the end
(Well I don’t think so - Not this time)
You’ve been worn by your own disguise
It’s too late to hide it
I saw with my own eyes
(My own eyes) It’s not my business, but
I would still like to help you
Figure it out
Immobile, as I may be
I still collect static electricity
Sparks will fly again
I can only lead so many lives
You can only live so many times
I suggest you invest in your own advice
Can’t you see that
I’ve got tunnel vision?
I’m not easily distracted
Once I’ve made my decision
(This is my affliction) It’s not your problem, but
Maybe you could help me
Sort it out
Though I’m stationary
I generate potential energy
I will reignite
You can only lead so many lives
I can only live so many times
I don’t intend to spend mine paralyzed
Call it a mission - Call it a lie
I’ve made my decision - I’ve made up my mind
A head on collision - With wide open eyes
Complete tunnel vision
Call it foolish or - Call it denial
A final conviction - Without compromise
Count down to ignition - I won’t shut my eyes (again)

Forging Reverie, our passion project of eight years, unofficially crawled to a stop by early 2015 with a handful of
